"Speaking"

(Thinking)

Reminiscing part


Chapter 1: Reminiscing

White soft clouds rolled over the village of Konoha, blue skies complimented the cool breeze. It was peaceful, quiet and most of all merry.

Our story begins in the Konoha hospital, where a very pregnant Kurenai rocked in her rocking chair reading a baby book. She was bored; her eyes were slowly dozing off.

She closed the book and set it aside. "Well, that was boring" She yawned. She looked at her stomach and rubbed her abdomen. "I can take care of you without reading any of these books" She smiled.

A soft breeze entered the room; Kurenai looked at the window and looked at the potted flowers sitting on the ledge. She then turned her attention to the silver ring hugging her left ring finger.

(Asuma) she silently thought, she closed her eyes and remembered the days when he was still alive.

"Kurenai" Asuma waved.

"Asuma get down, you might injure yourself" Kurenai warned.

Asuma ignored her warning and kept prancing on the roof across Kurenai's window. "Don't worry Kurenai I'll be –"He accidentally stepped on a sleeping cat's tail and slipped. "Woah" the cat followed him to the ground and kept scratching him.

"Asuma! Kurenai ran down to help him.

Kurenai brought him to her apartment and tended his wounds.

"You idiot I told you to get down from there" Kurenai sighed

Asuma scratched his cheek "Well if I didn't get down I wouldn't be this close to you" Asuma smiled.

Kurenai started to blush, she poured some alcohol on a cotton ball and rubbed Asuma's wounds.

"Ouch, be careful" Asuma cried.

Kurenai giggled "I thought you can handle it?"

Asuma pouted and started blushing as well. "Umm, Kurenai?"

"What is it Asuma?"

Asuma looked down and started playing with his fingers. "Umm will you…"

Kurenai gave Asuma a puzzling look. "Would I what?"

"Will you…" Asuma took in a deep breath. "Will you go out with me tonight?" he placed his palms together.

Kurenai smiled at his determination, she held his hands and looked at him in the eye. "Sure Asuma, why not" she smiled.

Asuma's eyes gleamed "Score" he launched his fist up in the air.

"Asuma your wounds"

"Don't worry Kurenai, I can handle it" he boasted, he gave her a little kiss on the cheek and quickly left the room.

Kurenai held her cheek; she felt his soft warm lips touch her sensitive skin. "He's really a hopelessly romantic guy"

The couple spent their evening in a romantic restaurant; after they ate they strolled along a park filled with beautiful flowers. Their fingers intertwining one another, they wouldn't let each other go. The only time their fingers departed was when Asuma picked a flower from the bush and placed it behind her ear.

"What's this?" Kurenai asked.

"A gift for the most beautiful being on earth" Asuma answered.

Kurenai caressed the flower behind her ear and smiled. Suddenly she felt Asuma's fingers touching her delicate lip; his lips neared hers and intensely kissed her. Kurenai wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

Their love blossomed after that evening; it was never awkward seeing these two teachers spending time together One day they decided to kick it up a notch and started living together, and after that huge step they decided to get intimate.

"Are you ready?" His naked body was on top of her voluptuous bare skin, his hands balancing his weight, his breath inches from her lips.

Kurenai smiled and kissed his lips; she wrapped her arms around his perfect frame and accepted him.

Their sexual needs were answered, their tongues intertwining one another, their palms sliding to their sensitive skins. Their moans were silent yet sexy; when Asuma entered her she started twitching. She was tight; he pushed and pulled until they were comfortable. She raised herself and started licking his chests; they were melting at each others grasps. When they entered their climax they knew that they both lost their virginity, but it was all worth it.

A few months later Kurenai told Asuma that she was expecting. Asuma didn't turn down his responsibilities and knew exactly what to do.

"Kurenai, will you marry me?" Asuma showed her a simple silver ring.

Kurenai's eye widened and started tearing up. "Damn hormones" she joked.

Asuma chuckled. "So what'll it be?"

Kurenai covered her mouth and nodded, she gave Asuma her hand and he placed the ring on her finger. "It's beautiful" she exclaimed.

"I'll give you a better one" Asuma shyly said.

"No Asuma it's perfect" she said as she kissed his forehead.

After a few weeks Asuma was given an assignment to kill two akatsuki members who were threatening his life.

"Please be careful" Kurenai mentioned.

Asuma looked at his fiancé and laughed. "Don't worry I can handle it" he kissed her in the lips then on her stomach. "When I some back let's get married" he said.

Kurenai nodded and kissed him tenderly. "I love you"

Asuma stood up and gave her a flying kiss. "I love you too" and excited the room.

That was the last time she heard his voice, that was the last time she kissed his lips, and that was the last time she saw his face.

Death struck Asuma's door, and Kurenai took the news hard.


She opened her eyes and wiped the tears falling from her cheeks. She looked at her stomach and placed her palms on it. "Your father was a great man" She quietly said, she felt her child kick and smiled, she gently rubbed her bump "Don't worry my child, I'll tell you everything you want to know about your father" she looked out of the window and was surprised to see Shikamaru standing on the roof across her room. She slowly stood up and went near the window. "Shikamaru, get down from there and come in here"

"Sorry Kurenai –Sensei, I'll be right there"

A few minutes later Shikamaru entered the room.

Kurenai sat on her rocking chair and stared at the window. "You know Shikamaru, you don't have to visit me everyday"

"But I promised Asuma –Sensei" he scoffed.

"I know but…You have to spend time with your friends"

Shikamaru crossed his arms "Come on, I have to protect you and the child"

"But you don't have to try so hard, I can take care myself too you know"

"But you're almost due" Shikamaru pointed out.

"I'll be fine" Kurenai assured him.

"Fine" Shikamaru pouted.

"Thank you" Kurenai smiled.

Silence broke into the room; Shikamaru stared at her pregnant stomach and smiled.

"Have you thought of any names?" Shikamaru asked.

"No, not yet" Kurenai answered. "Have you?"

"Y-yeah, but I only thought for a boy"

"Well, let's hear it"

"Keiichi" Shikamaru shyly said.

Kurenai gave it a thought and smiled "That's a perfect name"

Shikamaru scratched his cheek "Thanks" Shikamaru got up and headed to the door.

"Where are you going?" Kurenai asked.

"You were right. I need to spend time with my friends" Shikamaru said his goodbyes and excited the room.

(I still wonder why Asuma gave him such a huge responsibility)

That night Kurenai couldn't sleep. She was tossing and turning in bed, she felt uncomfortable. She sat up and rubbed her eyes "Why can't I sleep?" She looked around the room and noticed the window wide open. "I forgot to close the window" she sighed. She got off the bed and before she shut the window she looked at the sky.

(Asuma, I miss you) she held her stomach and smiled (But you did leave me something to remember you by)
